but Coomera is worth looking at in the future. In that price range you’re better off looking at inner city Brisbane.

Thank-you for your post. I agree that you have to be certain you can pull some equity out of the property to pay out the tenant, my property that I have in mind for it is at about 70% LVR and increasing rapidly, so I’m confidant.

Have you done this sort of deal before? If so, where would you suggest advertising for this type of deal?
